GREENWICH, Conn. — A school bus nearly slid off the road at an icy intersection in backcountry Greenwich on Monday morning.

The bus was stuck in a pile of icy snow at Taconic Road at North Street, which is in the north part of Greenwich near the Merritt Parkway.

Greenwich Schools are closed this week for winter recess, so it was not clear where the bus was traveling to Monday morning. There was no information on whether there were any injuries reported in the mishap.

Conditions were apparently icier than expected after a storm dropped mixed precipitation across the state on Sunday. There is also nearly a foot of snow still on the ground from a large storm that hammered the region last Thursday.
